Dexmedetomidine in Splanchnic Nerve Neurolysis
The Effectiveness of Adding Dexmedetomidine to Alcohol in Splanchnic Nerve Neurolysis for the Treatment of Intra-Abdominal Cancer Pain.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Patients fasted for 6 hours prior to the procedure, and a 20 G intravenous cannula was placed. Before the procedure, 500 mL of physiological saline was administered intravenously. The patient was positioned in the prone position on the surgical table with the chest supported using a pillow, to reverse the thoracolumbar lordosis and to increase the distance between the superior iliac spine and the chest cage. The patient was monitored using electrocardiography, non-invasive blood pressure measurements, and pulse oximetry in accordance with the standards proposed by the American Association of Anesthesiologists. On arrival at the operating room, electrocardiogram, pulse oximetry, and non-invasive arterial blood pressure were applied and vital signs were obtained.
Twenty-two Gauge spinal needle introduced at 11th intercostal space 6 cm from midline and advanced to touch the anterolateral aspect of T11. Again, with AP and lateral views the placement of the needles was confirmed using contrast dye under fluoroscopy.
Splanchnic nerve blockade will be performed by using (4.5 ml ethanol 96% + 1.5 ml of lidocaine 10 mg/ml) administered bilaterally (a total volume of 12 ml) with addition of 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine patients in group (1).
The procedure lasted 30 minutes, and the recovery period lasted 10 minutes since conscious sedation was used. After the procedure, patients were kept under medical observation for 4 to 6 hours to monitor possible hemodynamic complications.
Parameters assessed:
- Hemodynamic parameters: Heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation were recorded before and immediately after the blockade and follow up on time intervals over 2 weeks after the blockade.
- Analgesic requirements: First time to require additional analgesics
- Visual Analogue Scale: The Visual Analogue Scale score (VAS) consists of a straight line with the endpoints defining extreme limits such as 'no pain at all' and 'pain as bad as it could be'.The score of pain intensity was determined by patients providing a mark between 0-10 cm with score from 0-4 cm mild pain. 5- 7 cm moderated and 8-10 severe pain
- Incidence of complications: In the form of hemodynamic instability, constitutional symptoms as (nausea, vomiting and diarrhea)
